I was out with OH today (yesterday actually) and we passed a circus, set up on a green in Haslemere, a town near where I live.
Jay Miller's circus.
My OH booked tickets and I'm excited to see what the modern circus offers.
I remember elephants, lions and tigers doing tricks. Ladies and men balancing on two trotting horses, performing seals, even riders jumping through hoops of fire, high-wire acrobats and Charlie Caroli, the king of the ring.
All exciting in a different era, Blackpool Tower had the best circus ever and a Zoo under the legs.
We used to make a weekend of it and stay in either a BnB or a caravan.
Glitz and glamour in a very cheap way but it was huge fun and the Opera House was another attraction where they had several 'turns' and a known star at the time, topping the bill.
Have you ever been to an old-fashioned circus?
